black tie affair

October 20, 2015

It’s probably the girly-girl in us, but we love any excuse to get dressed up! A few weeks ago, we attended a wedding that was a black tie affair. Our social calendars don’t have us attending too many black tie affairs, but when it does the search for a new dress starts! One thing we try to look for is something that is re-wearable. This floral lace maxi caught my eye when shopping in New York during Fashion Week. It’s not your typical lace dress, which is why I was so drawn to it. The length made the dress black tie appropriate, but the colorful lace made it more playful. I was hoping to wear it again, with more casual accessories, for my upcoming baby shower, but this bump will be too big by then! #pregnancyproblems

With the holiday season coming up, you may likely be invited to a black tie affair. A few of our favorites looks that we found while shopping online are: this berry colored midi skirt paired with a black shell, we love the simplicity and color of this jumpsuit, and you can’t go wrong in a black strapless floor length gown.

Happy Monday! Sorry for the radio silence last week. We were working through a few back end issues on the blog, but we are back with exciting content for you this week! Juggling life and work and everything else sometimes makes it hard to post five times a week. Usually, we won’t take off four days, but if we do take a day off every now and then, you can always find us on Instagram!

Jean is back in London this week, enjoying time with family and some cooler weather. It was fun to pack some sweaters that will actually be needed! After a red eye flight last night, she will be taking it easy and recovering from jet lag. The rest of the week is busy here in Dallas! Kat is getting ready for Justin’s birthday week, and Stia starts birthing classes tomorrow. Since it has been a bit, we are back with the best sales this week below:

datebooks

October 12, 2015

The days could not go by any faster. It is kinda crazy to think that in just a few months, we will be celebrating the end of 2015 and toasting to the beginning of 2016! When a new year approaches, we always look forward to picking out a new datebook. You may call us old fashioned, but there is nothing like writing in a datebook vs. an iPhone calendar, and putting down plans from pen to paper. Graphic Image has been a longtime favorite datebook for us. There are so many variations: pocket and desk, and they are available in every color imaginable. We love the desk datebook because of the weekly view, but also because it fits perfectly in our tote bags.

With just eleven weeks left of 2015, we have been busy planning for 2016. Already on our calendars: a weekend getaway, a baby shower for a friend, and the arrival of Baby Coffman, due on January 14! What’s your favorite way to stay organized throughout the year?

Graphic Image and Gigi New York are currently having their friends and family sale– Save 25% off site wide! With the discount the 2016 datebooks are under $100, and make such a great Christmas gift.

PS: For those of you wondering from this post, we finally pulled the trigger on this pair of flat over-the-knee boots and are now dying for the weather to cool down a bit so we can wear them!
